She would really recommend any early-career research to apply for this great opportunity. As she said: “This fellowship has allowed me to have the benefits of academia and industry together….. to broaden my current knowledge and develop technical, industrial, and research skills”. Having the opportunity to collaborate with different experts in her field from around the world also has made her much more competitive.

 

 

The ACM Future of Computing Academy (FCA), created in 2016, brings together talented young professionals from a broad range of computing subdisciplines and institutions—academia, research labs, established companies, and startups—who want to perform valuable services for the community while expanding their professional networks and leadership experience. FCA members identify and implement pilot projects that address challenging issues facing our organization and the computing field in general. They work closely with ACM leadership, bringing in new ideas and perspectives and helping to integrate successful pilots—such as “crash courses” in AI and cross-disciplinary podcasts—into ACM’s institutional practices. FCA members are selected biennially through a highly competitive process similar to the nomination process for ACM awards.

Three women were selected to the FCA from Europe: Claudia Mazo, Leila Bahri, and Ella Peltonen.

We are wishing the best of luck to Dr Claudia Mazo in her career journey!
